ELIX Polymers, a subsidiary of Sinochem International, has partnered with the Spanish non-profit Ayúdame3D, alongside Repsol and Leitat, to create 3D printed prosthetics from recycled acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) materials.
As a global leader in ABS production, ELIX Polymers has been championing plastic waste recycling over the years. Aligning with its “circular plastics” and “responsible innovation” strategic plans, the company establishes a circular economy model and fosters full value chain cooperation, converting waste into high-value products during raw material production. The initiative results in efficient use of recycled materials, integrating them into applications involving virtualization and new 3D technology.
